This isn’t restricted to US culture. Every culture on earth sees a draw from the small towns and villages to the city. Opportunities, culture, better pay, access to education.
Japanese villages are empty. Spain, Italy the same. I’m in Thailand and my guide said exactly the same thing yesterday.
There’s also a draw away from the city as people have kids. They want a bit more quiet. Good schools safe environment.

The migration is about the different things one wants during the course of one’s life.

Perhaps you could rephrase the concept around “if you stay at home you might miss out on some of the opportunities your peers experienced” if you want to look at both sides you could consider the benefits of community family and friends that those who stay are able to enjoy.
Some people fly to places like Afghanistan which do not have all these fancy computers I suppose.
I think you meant "less than one generation behind." Or as the article you linked to says:
"Taiwanese law limits domestic chipmakers to producing chips abroad that are at least one generation less advanced than their fabs at home"
Agreed, and the Apple Music Desktop App suffers from being a legacy franken-iTunes nightmare.

After cancelling Spotify I surprisingly ended up on Tidal, and it's been amazing so far. Feels like how Spotify used to feel before they started shipping the org chart like all big companies eventually do. Plus its cheaper, offers higher quality streams, and gives bigger payouts to artists.
I haven't had chance to watch the video yet so apologies if this is covered, but are the ESP32 radios regulatory certifications tied to the official black box firmware? Would the same hardware but with open firmware need to be sent to the FCC (and others) again for proper compliance?
#define T lua_gettop(L)
…
int t = T;
…
assert(T == t + expected_inc);
…
lua_pushvalue(L, -2); // note: this is b
lua_remove(L, -3); // old b
// eventual realization that
// -index is fragile
// and rewrite to
int start = T;
int a = ++start;
int b = ++start;
luaL_checkstack(L, 10, "…");
…
lua_pushvalue(L, b);
lua_remove(L, b);
lua_call(L, …);
luaL_ref(L, …);
…
lua_settop(L, t - 1);

If you have ever done this, idk how that feels flexibility. I’d rather get handles to a and b and directly call a function with them as like:

LFN *func = LGETFN(L, LARG(1));
LTAB *retvs = LCHKTAB(
LCALL(L, func, 3,
LGET(L, LARG(2)),
LGET(L, LARG(3)),
LGET(L, LUPV(1))
)
);
me.retvs = LREF(L, retvs);
// everything but ref’d
// things disappears here:
return;

And avoid all this stack-in-your-mind and stack-in-your-int nonsense, which is completely unnecessary in C and I fail to see where exactly it is flexible, compared to the short snippet above. Stack is just how vm sees it, it is not any special “for you” thing, it’s literally implementation shining through.

I’d like to see a specific example (low-key, I left Lua) on how its stack provides more flexibility or anything, because in my humble experience it does not, absolutely, do anything like it. It just makes you play these off-by-one games all day for no good reason.
I had to move back to be closer to my parents in a town which doesn't value intellectual pursuits because I couldn't find a job in the tech sector in the big city after almost a year. This is in spite of having a long list of technical accomplishments and an impeccable public track record under my belt.

My dad kept reminding me how I shouldn't have pursued coding and studied to be a lawyer instead... He alluded to my cousin who never went to university and was able to buy a house by being a truck driver and then working in the mines. Sigh.

He is right though. I feel like a fool; a caricature of the stereotypical book-smart, street-dumb geek, crawling back to the small town on my knees just to have the town folk rub dirt in my face, feeling proud of themselves for never having taken such foolish risks in their lives.
Because they make products that are harder to replace with a better alternative. (they have a moat/lock-in).

Anyone that has built a moat/lock-in will, sooner or later, screw you over.

Hammer manufacturers would too, if they could. But hammers are simple devices.
I had a spreadsheet set up much like that in the past: it would bubble up the exercises I'd done the longest ago for a particular muscle group so I'd always get variety. It worked pretty good, but I found myself often avoiding unpleasant exercises when given choices and eventually the whole arrangement fell apart due to too many moving pieces. I also didn't see the kind of extra benefit that I thought I'd gain from performing so many variations.
I also used to set up fully scheduled on/off timers for specific exercises in an app, but found that any interruption would throw the whole thing off, annoying me to no end.
However, your last point was also my biggest enemy. If I get distracted online for long enough to cool down to the point that I'm worried about injury, the whole session tends to just blow straight out. That's the main driver I had for putting the simple timer in the footer: keep my device on one screen from beginning to end!
> Doubtful it's good to have such durable micro materials bouncing around our lungs and digestive tracts.

Having odd things in your lungs is bad. Having things bouncing around in your digestive tract means nothing. The whole point of the digestive tract is that you put untrusted materials into it.
> There was an absolutely insane comment on HN a few months ago where the poster said that they felt a sense of accomplishment after "producing" a song on Suno. I mean... how could that possibly be true?

They "created" something that, until now, would have required skills they didn't have. You don't see how someone could feel a sense of accomplishment for the end result, the thing they poofed into existence and like?

We use tools to make things (even art) easier to create. I don't make my paints from scratch (anymore), or string my paintbrushes (anymore), or now sometimes choose my color palettes or general composition -- tools (like genAI) exist to let artists create art easier, and saying "you didn't put in enough thought/work/etc for it to count as art!" feels dismissive of the creative process and the joy people find in expressing themselves, regardless of how they got there.
Maybe make friends where you are? There’s a formula. Find people who share interests, spend time with them. meet their friends, expand your interests, be open. Be friendly, help, ask for help.

My favorite song of 2024 is AI generated bit about a specific video game. There's no way in hell this song would ever get created without AI.
This has not been my experience.

Are you just trying to find that level of communication in places like this?
To counter, the dress code was vague and imprecise. See my other comment here- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42528218

EDIT: Actually, the poster above was not accurate. The dress code is found here- https://www.fide.com/docs/regulations/wrbc_regulations_2024_...

And it was much more precise than "smart business attire.".
I was not responding to you.
Again it's probably my limited scope on the topic that brings me to such conclusions.

I gave a check to the ARC project and it seems like a great challenge (from the standpoint of proactiveness).

What i might not understand is how could a challenge defined like so "AGI is a system that can efficiently acquire new skills outside of its training data." be possible. My mind goes to deep learning, to RNNs, to something that does online training but then again i think that after a while, learning on it's own, wouldn't it introduce noise into it's system? in my mind (again, ignorance speaking here) online training requires some sort of back propagation, some sort of learning on it's own from it's own. The acquisition of new skills must come from either itself or an agent's surrounding environment... i just can't see how this whole system could be stable

> In other words, ice cream has 1.8x more sugar content than boba and 2.3x more sugar content of Coca Cola.

Most Boba Tea cups I’ve seen are far bigger than the typical ice cream.

You can’t use per-100gm doses this way. You have to look at sugar in the product as ordered.

People don’t order and eat their food in neat 100gm increments.

Ask HN: RAG-Based PR Review System – Looking for Boilerplates or Alternatives
I’m working on building a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system for my codebase to enable a PR review system. Currently, I’m using LangChain with ChromaDB as the vector database. I parse the code using AST and generate embeddings with a HuggingFace sentence transformer.

While it appears to index the code chunks, the query results are often not very relevant.

Is there any boilerplate code available for this use case? Or are there any alternative approaches or tools that might work better?
Why doesnt Apple use ESP32
five minutes to click 2 buttons? anyway.

yes, when you get your phone stolen in a trip and can't log into anything.

or when you realize nobody cares for the 5 nerds using those and require an apple or google passkey.
Maybe the World Blitz Candidates Tournament but Magnus was practically eliminated from contention in Rapid before this.
Side question. One of the speakers gave his DECT number. Does that mean people are still carrying around old phones just to use at tech conferences?
So what is he going to do in prison?
My comment isn't in regards to how the DMCA is supposed to work or what content I'd like to restrict from hosting online. If you've gone that far you've already long passed my point and seriously misinterpreted my opening statement "As much as I don't like the current rules either".

As the other commenter mentioned, my point was having done something for many years does without receiving a notice does not inherently imply it was fine to do all those years prior. That does not mean I agree that's how large hosting platforms should work, just that their stance has always been "fuck what the user should be able to easily do with content" rather than some new policy the day you got your first notice.
while I can imagine the frustration, I'm not sure this is a post you want attached to your name if you have to get into a legal battle with them.
The problem is, if we are talking about Lua API, typically you are on the other side of “embedded in another project”, as an embedder. My reply shortly above goes into some details.

(from elsewhere) It is a low-level API for creating bindings to other languages and as such typically isn't used directly. (Well, unless you are writing C :)

Yeah, unless. But even under this assumption, wrapping handles to values would be much more easier in a language-specific wrapper, because it wouldn’t have to watch out for stack overflows etc and solve the exploding stack problem in general in naive api-user-side loops. This thread started as Lua stack API is better than Python’s, iirc. But Python API already looks like a high-level wrapper doing exactly that, so… what was the point again?

I’m a little concerned that everyone talks high matters here without providing examples or at least looking into “final particles”. Cause that’s where claims get tested against reality. I spent too many years in deep Lua and its mailing list to miss something obvious that everyone knows.
I think the digital portion is pretty standard nowadays (same as biometric passports, plus any national addons like e-signing on top of that). And physical features are customizable, but that’s atrue for passports as well.
Ask HN: Will captive portals be in jeopardy due to browser policies?
It seems all the currents ways of configuring Raspberry Pi wifi through the phone are based in captive portals. At the same time, it looks like browsers, starting by Chrome are restrincting more and more any use but the standard.

I am concerned, that having a product based on this, and been a headless system, at some point they will lose suddenly the ability to be connected to wifi, making it unusable.

Any thought? Are they going to go that far?
I’m sure there are some Type 1’s present: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SorkIX_ABCo (LocalScriptMan - Writing with the Enneagram: Type 1)
Perhaps this is a minor nitpick, but

> Abstractions are also the enemy of simplicity. Each new abstraction is supposed to make things simpler—that’s the promise, right?

Not exactly, no. The purpose of abstraction is to hide implementation detail, and thereby insulate one part of the codebase/application/system from variations in another. Graphics APIs for example - yes your code may be simpler for not having to deal with the register-level minutiae of pushing individual triangles, but the core benefit is that the same code should work on multiple different hardware devices.

Good abstractions break a codebase up into compartments - if you drop a grenade in one (change the requirements for example), then the others are unaffected and the remedial work required is much less.
Not a course, as such, but reading “Measurement” by Paul Lockhart, of “A Mathematician’s Lament fame.

I’ve never read anything that so clearly communicates and leads you into a state of mind that COMPELS you to prove mathematical conjectures from first principles.

I found myself furiously sketching geometric proofs and simplifying algebraic conundrums with an enthusiasm I haven’t experienced in decades.

And a course on sewing for beginners and continuing Japanese.
I think it's a CCC tradition.
I am shocked to see The Gateway Experience mentioned. I specifically clicked on this story to post about it.

Anyway, TGE is a fantastic resource if you put the time into it. I've gotten to levels of meditation through it that still make me question reality.

On the one hand, I'm very much facts, data, and reproducibility oriented, and "I know" that everything I experienced was just my brain having fun.

On the other hand, WTF. Maybe I am more than my physical self, and there are alternate dimensions I can teleport myself to.
"Digital only" is a truly terrible idea for passports, currency and everything else. Even if everything worked perfectly (it never does) and all the databases were completely secure (they aren't), what happens when there is a power outage? What happens when the network goes down? What happens when you drop your phone in the toilet? In a perfect world nobody in a position of power would be remotely stupid enough to suggest going all digital for anything critically important, yet here we are.
You can check out the demo of iFeelio[0] (app is currently obsolete because I got tired of coding and other reasons), which has a format for micro-journaling, basically answering "How do I feel?" with comma separated emotional words or phrases and "What is happening?" with 140 characters. Basically it helped me get better at identifying emotions (including mixed ones) and contexts.

You can check out both Emotional Self-Defense[1] and emōkō[2], for some theory and drills to practice dealing with emotional attacks. One of the main principles is what I call the three steps: 1) truth, 2) fair play, and 3) love. Or telling the truth about how I feel, telling the other person how I imagine they might feel, and saying one thing to connect to them with love.

The emōkō site has quite a few audio reflection drills I created to practice these three steps, with a variety of emotions and contexts.

Lastly, checking out my podcast, The Jim Kleiber Show[3], especially the segment the DailyJim, where I do 5-10 min reflections most weeks Mon-Thu about a lot of these topics.

I want to better organize these tips and tools I've built, as I have a lot more, but that's what I have for now.

If you want to talk more about this, please reach out to the email in my bio, id love to share more.

I don’t even know, but it would not surprise me if whatever they spray on cotton clothing to make it feel new, which washes out with the first wash, is also some endocrine disrupter. It is insane to me that we have allowed our psychotic cooperations and the psychotic narcissistic people who run and are part of them to totally poison our whole world and lives. This is not even a new thing. I know for a fact that Nestle experimented with including these types of liquid plastics into baby food, testing the maximum amount of liquid plastic that could be added to baby jar food because it would result in babies not being able to take up nourishment, which would in turn cause parents to have to feed more and buy more. I don’t know to what level that was implemented, but I know of a scientist that was involved and asked to do thinks he could not reconcile with goods conscience, so he resigned. I’m sure they found someone else somewhere with less reservations of morals. Most likely most industrial baby food has immense amounts of liquid plastics in it.

No one that goes through the trouble of cooking their own baby food feeds their babies as much as when they feed jar food, that foes right through them.
I believe the main goal is improved speed for huge vaults.
I love my Polestar 2. But there's gotta be a better way to do touchscreen climate controls. I've had mine for 8 months now, and had to google in order to figure out that the car had dual-climate zones—it's really hard to tell from the swipe-up page, so I just assumed it didn't have that feature for a while. Plus, I don't feel comfortable changing the climate settings while driving, because I might hit the wrong touchscreen button when I'm not looking at the screen.

But hey, maybe if I wait around another 5-10 years, there'll be more than 3 mainstream electric sedan options available for the US market and I'll be able to find the perfect car.
This is frankly an abomination.

I understand the need to identify people people crossing borders etc, but it's not, never has been and should never be a binary or digital thing. I'm not a religious person whatsoever but the identity of a human is not a stamp.

No-one should have this right to such centralized control of human interaction, whether it be facebook or globally linked digital passports. We desperately need more local and subjective methods of reputation that are not tied to big centralized corporations or governments (one in the same).

And yes, subjectively is a feature. I don't know how we can solve it but current path does not look good and is incredibly anti-life.

He hasn't gone off the deep end (past tense). But is it a process currently in progress? Only possible to say in hindsight but does certainly seem possible.
That is true. I would love to have intellectual friends who like the arts, like pottery, writing, and music. I imagine those hobbies to be very affordable.

> cultural preference to isolate oneself

In retrospect, we, as a society, developed this notion of private property. Consumerism and mass media did this to us. But historically, we did not own much. Someone would hunt and gather, and the elders would stay and look out for the children. Imagine you're retired, old, frail, yet surrounded by children who are willing to help you.

With the current system, the passport chip can be validated offline if you have the CAs cached. If your computer is completely dead, you can look at the documents under a UV light and verify authenticity the old fashioned way. You could definitely design something that was verifiable offline using phones, but you’d be harder pressed to have it verifiable without any tech whatsoever.
that's the kind of compromise you don't want to see on authentication code though.

that's just the one i hit yesterday. Making software do crazy things "for the uneducated user" is a sure way to alienate both.

but anyway. what bothers me most about passkey is that tomorrow someone will realize requiring passkeys trhu google and apple only, cuts spam more than captcha. it will happen and everyone knows it.
Isn't composition is superior to mixins for a few reasons, particularly the "Single-responsibility principle" ?
I grew up in a suburban house with a backyard that opened to many acres of swamplands and nature preserves. It was also a bicycle ride away to go to a few different parks, the movie and video game rental store in the same strip as a corner store with all kinds of snacks and ice cream, go visit Space Center Houston, go fishing on the lake, and even take a canoe all the way to the bay. I had friends in my neighborhood, friends in nearby neighborhoods, and friends all over the city by the time I was 13.

Now my kids have a backyard. They are also a short walk to a city park with multiple playgrounds, a small trail through the woods, a fishing pond, and more. They can hop on the bus and go to the library or the many other parks. They can hop on grade separated bike trails and ride for dozens of miles through nature reserves. We take the train to watch hockey games deeper into the city pretty often.

Suburb doesn't have to mean isolation. If often does, but it doesn't have to.

Meanwhile I know many people who live deeper in the city who barely know anyone in the city and rarely interact with people outside of Discord.

I suggest not to follow influencers, most of them are not really natural and even if they are, they are probably genetic luck draw (which most like you'll not be)

My uncle is one such genetic freak, he barely works out still he's more buff than you average gym guy without even setting foot anywhere in the gym.
Yeah but on the census is your area rural or urban?

Lots of people LARP as rural despite living in an urban area.

Big difference between a small town a truly rural. My friend lives in a rural place; it's a full 30min drive to the grocery store on one lane each way highways. There's like six restaurants in 80mi.
While they’re only now coming out with even a 5GHz model there isn’t really much in Apple’s product line that needs a lowend primarily “IoT” WiFi. Maybe the HomePod, but they already have better chipsets for their flagship devices.
FTX was considered to be a very reputable company, Bernie Maddoff was a reputable money manager, Enron had quite the reputation, Boeing, VW, Theranos, SVB, etc...

Easy to say that you should only do business with reputable entities until you try and figure out who that is.
